HHC Ireland
HHC Ireland can be found at iVape, both in-store at our three branches, Navan, Maynooth, and Mullingar, and online at iVape.ie. We stock a wide range in various forms, from gummies to carts and disposables.
What is HHC?
HHC Ireland, an abbreviation for hexahydrocannabinol, is a cannabinoid found in minute concentrations within hemp seeds and hemp pollen. It is a naturally occurring substance sourced from hemp plants.
Hexahydrocannabinol, or “HHC,” is a cannabinoid, a type of substance that binds with cannabinoid receptors in your body, including in your brain. These receptors are part of your body’s endocannabinoid system that controls many of your daily functions, from how you feel to what you think to how you eat and sleep.
HHC stands apart from CBD by delivering psychoactive effects capable of influencing one’s behavior and perception. Users often report experiencing feelings of euphoria, altered mood, bouts of laughter, increased appetite, shifts in reality perception, and heightened sensory pleasure. The intensity of these effects varies depending on the dosage and individual variances.
HHC Ireland vs. THC
THC is the ingredient in marijuana that makes you feel high. CBD is the ingredient in many CBD products that claim to help with everything from pain and soreness to anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. HHC, which is sometimes called HXC, is chemically like Delta-9 THC, but it’s a semisynthetic CBD. It’s made in a lab from CBD taken from low-THC cannabis or what you might know as hemp. A special chemical process called hydrogenation gives CBD additional hydrogen atoms, which turns it into HHC.
HHC Ireland vs. Delta-8
Like HHC, Delta-8 THC is a cannabinoid that’s begun to show up more and more often on vape store shelves and online. It, too, is made by taking some other cannabinoid and changing it slightly in a chemical lab. It’s unclear whether HHC is more potent than Delta-8. Neither has it been well-studied. Neither HHC nor Delta-8 has an FDA-approved use. There’s very limited information about their safety and usefulness, but there are some reports of negative side effects.
Some people refer to HHC as a “lite” form of cannabis that won’t get you as high as THC. But not enough studies have been done to prove that’s the case. Other reports describe the high you get from HHC is similar to that from THC. Again, there’s not enough data to be sure whether this is true. One study found that although HHC has two isomers (molecules) that bind to the body’s cannabinoid receptors, only one binds as well as THC.
Guidelines for Using HHC Vapes
For those embarking on the HHC journey, we recommend commencing with three inhalations. The effects of HHC are typically experienced within minutes after vaping, as it directly enters the bloodstream through the lungs. It is advisable to tread cautiously, gradually increasing usage to optimize the encounter.
